Hi, I am currently being filmed by SVT and they want me to type something, so that's what I'm doing. Blogging is good times serious business, isn't it? Wait and see if this makes it onto Kultur Nyheterna when it airs.
UPDATE: The program airs tonight (6/11) at 7pm on SVT2 and again at 11 on SVT1. It is now available on-demand: http://svt.se/svt/play/video.jsp?a=73785 (advance about 10 minutes in)
No time for a full report just yet, but I did start a new msgboard thread for anyone who wants to keep track of my Swedish travels: [click here]
Expect further updates as the week goes on!
It's a Trap! is on the road! I'll be traveling throughout Sweden from June 10-22, so expect updates to be somewhat sporadic during that time. Friends who want to meet up are encouraged to get in touch!
Calling Stockholm! As some of you know, I'm leaving for Sweden on Monday and will be over there for two full weeks, attending Hultsfred, going to a wedding and generally hanging out. The site will continue to be updated sporadically while I'm on the road, but if you were thinking of purchasing something from the mailorder, better do it soon 'cuz nothing will get shipped while I'm away. Thanks!

I'm also paring down to an hour of programming a week, so expect all-killer/no-filler from here on out! Also, seeing as how I'm leaving for Sweden on June 9, this week's coming show will be a Hultsfred Festival special so mark your calenders, update your alarm clocks or do whatever it is you need to do to remind yourself to listen in!
